Bedlight For Blue Eyes - The City And The Ghost lyrics

Tonight I need the bright lights, Still got her face on my mind. Heading where the talk is cheap And I'm dressed to a "T" so they won't notice me. It's warm for October And I've got the windows down. The skyline whispers her promises, The same lie each night. But I force myself to believe... And I swore it'd be different but how could it be? What I came to escape is right here inside of me. The city's a desert With photographic stars. Each pretty face is just a mirage, And my mouth's full of sand again. But I force myself to believe, Across the river's the cure for what's sick inside of me. And I swore it'd be different but how could it be? What I came to escape is right here inside of me. And I swore it'd be different but how could it be? What I came to escape is right here inside of me. I look in the mirror past the buildings, the sky's getting light. Another piece of my innocence is the admission I paid there tonight. Slow down past her exit though it makes me sick, and I imagine her saying, "You're better than this... you're better than this." And I swore it'd be different but how could it be? What I came here to escape is right here inside of me. And I swore it'd be different but how could it be? What I came to escape is right here inside of me. Woah-woah And I swore it'd be different
